The Wednesday lottos, which begin April 6 and have been nicknamed “Ham4Ham” by fans, will include live performances from Miranda and special guests. Entries will be accepted beginning at 12 pm, with the drawing occurring a half hour later.

The new hybrid lotto experience gives “Hamilton” fans the best of both worlds, according to Miranda, who says the decision was made to “maintain the fun of the #Ham4Ham live show while keeping the diversity & democracy of the online lotto.”

Regulating the in-person lottery to once a week during working hours might also solve the problem of controlling the crowds of hopefuls — often in the hundreds — from blocking the street on 46th Street between Broadway and Eighth Avenue. “We need to figure out how to safely accommodate our fans without blocking traffic,” producer Jeffrey Seller said in a statement.
